On June 5th and 6th, Flatwater Tales will host some of the country's best story tellers at the 2026 Flatwater Tales Storytelling festival in Oak Ridge, TN.

This is our 10th year. Spend a weekend enjoying top storytelling inside the comfortable Oak Ridge Conference Center set adjacent to the trails of Bissell park. A weekend pass includes entrance to all seven shows plus the American Museum of Science and Energy, Oak Ridge History Museum, a chance to ring the Peace Bell and explore the Oak Ridge Art Center. All within walking distance with easy access to food and shopping too.

Please join us on Saturday evening for a concert celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The event will feature a mosaic of music and stories highlighting our country's founding tenets: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. The program is designed to be aspiring and uplift, featuring a mix of familiar patriotic songs, folk music, and a special piece celebrating life in the Appalachian Mountains. It promises to be a memorable celebration, and we hope to see you there.

Flatwater Tales is a 501c3 managed project of the three rotary clubs of Oak Ridge. Who utilize the proceeds of this event for community service projects.
